As the chaos unfolded, I felt the pressure of my role as class president bearing down on me. Cleo's frustration shifted to me, and her words hit hard. "Elena, bakit ka nandiyan lang? Nakatingin ka lang, walang ginagawa! Puro ka lang tanga, hindi mo man lang alam kung paano tumulong!"

I took a deep breath, trying to keep my composure. "i...i don't know what to do," I said, my voice trembling slightly.

Cleo's anger didn't ease. "what do you mean you didn't know? you're the class president, you supposed to know what to do! di ka nakakatulong."

I felt my frustration rising. "Bakit sa tingin mo ba nakakatulong yang ginagawa mo? Instead of helping, pinapalala mo pa," I retorted,

"just because walang kumampi sayo kasi you're spitting nonsense, eh ibabali mo nalang galit mo sakin." i said, camly

"Cleo, instead of shouting and blaming everyone, bakit hindi nalang natin tahiin yang bunganga mo para hindi ka na makapagsalita ng kung ano-ano?" Caleb's voice cut through the din, his words harsh and biting.

The room fell silent for a moment as everyone turned to look at Caleb. His outburst was unexpected and jarring, and I could see the shock on Cleo's face. The anger and frustration that had been swirling around seemed to momentarily freeze in place, replaced by a stunned silence.

Cleo's eyes widened, a mixture of anger and hurt flashing across her face. "Caleb, seriously?"

Caleb's expression remained stern. "Yeah, seriously. Instead of making things worse, maybe you should just stop talking and listen for once."

"walang dana na aalis, pero may cleo. belle help her pack her things" he said

"bawal homophobic dito" bulog ni belle kay cleo
